BEI Remote UNIX and
Remote Network Service Plans
There
are thousands of companies that have a critical need for expert UNIX
support and UNIX administration but cannot justify the expense of a
full-time UNIX Systems Administrator and full-time network support.
PC-Week
reports that the average salary for a qualified UNIX support
professional is over $70,000.00 per year.
The BEI remote UNIX support service plan
offers a cost-effective alternative to a full-time UNIX Systems
Administrator. Because BEI
utilizes sophisticated monitoring techniques, BEI can offer world-class
remote UNIX support and remote Network support at affordable prices.
Client Requirements
All clients must provide secure external access to their UNIX servers,
either via dedicated dial-in or secure connections over the Internet.
The client must also possess a valid support number for access to UNIX
technical support.
BEI offers remote UNIX support for IBM AIX
UNIX, Solaris Sun UNIX, HP UNIX (HP/UX) and Linux. We also support
every conceivable type of Network configuration including traditional
data services, wireless, and Internet-based connectivity.
